Great staff and my daughter is enjoying the hip hop class. It was so crowded that they created another class for the older kids. It is so enjoyable to see my daughter enjoying herself and having fun learning the different body moves. Thank you! read more

Great staff. My daughter had a great time. Just a bit busy and overcrowded, but I'm glad the studio is thriving.

Really disappointed in this studio. I wanted to like it because it's so close to my house but the instructor was super mean to my 3 year old. She used to cry and beg me not to go. It got to the point where she was waking up with Nightmares and begged me not to take her. I brought it up to the studio on October 19 and wanted to cancel because I don't want to subject my daughter to something like that and they said that they were still going to charge me for the month of November despite the fact that it's their treatment that caused us not to go. They told me that I had to cancel by the 15th so they were going to charge me for the entire month of November despite the fact that I didn't even go one day in October and wasn't contesting that charge but I feel like it's unfair to charge me for November when I didn't attend for two months. I feel like my daughter is permanently traumatized. Not ok! We started at the school of dance and music in Hermosa, which is a very long drive for me sinceI live in PVE but my daughter actually loves the ballet class there and is excited to go. read more

This is a good place if your child is ready for group classes, if they are younger and not into it so much might not be worth the money. Dyan is the only teacher who made the younger ballet classes fun, unfortunately she teaches one class for the age group we needed so we didn't get to go to her class too many times. The other ballet instructors just didn't make the class fun for the little ones. I wish they were all like Dyan. If your child loves dancing and is ready to engage on their own this place is wonderful, they offer many classes. It's was a bummer to see my child love one instructor over the other so much, which in the end caused us to cancel because the instructors available with our schedule weren't engaging. read more

Great place for kids. They do a great job and classes get packed. Probably they need to expand, the mall should just give them a few more spots for free read more

Dancers, parents, and office staff are great. Dance instruction is good, although if you care about your dancer's mental health and self-esteem, stay away. The dance team and studio director Jami Gobee puts an enormous amount of stress on these dancers and then criticizes them when they can't handle the stress. She refused to allow any medical accommodations that were provided, and repeatedly told us that she knows more as a dancer than our surgical doctor and therefore wouldn't accept the notes!! Instead of allowing accommodations, she made punishing threats and forced my child to take all of her classes when she was injured and sick. With every request, I received a cold and rigid response like the one copied from the other reviewer. Jami and her dance teachers regularly humiliated and ridiculed my child for her anxiety when they were the root cause of that anxiety, and told her that her dancing was getting worse (I wonder why....). Anxiety increased exponentially during her time at Fusion, and dropped almost instantly once we left. Jami told the entire dance team not to talk to us when we left, which speaks volumes to her character. They are all afraid of this woman. I would love to say that this is a good studio, but Jami creates an unhealthy environment for youth that I would not recommend to anyone. So unfortunate and so misguided. read more

I've known Dyan for 20 years. I've danced all my life and she is one of the best dance teachers I have ever had. She taught me tap when I was a kid and I hope when I have kids she is still teaching so they can learn from the best!! Dyan is extremely knowledgeable about the dance world, she has been in the business for a long time and really knows her stuff! One of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. I 100% recommend Dyan and her studio if you're looking for a great dance education. read more

I have seen Dyan up close for many years, and she is an amazingly gifted teacher and connects very well with the young kids. On another note: having watched Dyan and having been involved as a parent in her studio who helped out in many ways, I NEVER saw anything but complete equity for ALL of her students and families, no matter what their cultural or ethnic background. I am extremely saddened that her reputation as being anything but completely embracing has been put in question. As a clergy person, I can assure ANYONE that this is NOT the case with Dyan or with her studio. read more

Our family went to EDC for 3 years. Best way to describe this studio... unorganized, all over the place. We stayed because of the relationships we developed with the other dance families and dancers. Studio collected from the state during quarantine all while making dance families pay full tuition as well. I do not recommend. Hope my review helps new families to the area make a wise decision on the studio they will soon call home. read more

The owner of the studio said something about COVID being a bio-weapon from China and that "the masses are a**es" which will lead to Trump being a dictator forever after declaring Marshall Law? Idk I was just asking if anyone had seen my jacket but that was weird. EDIT: 3 stars though because it's near a Starbucks. Pretty convenient! read more

Fabulous dance studio with every precaution taken during these uncomfortable times. Beyond thankful for a community dance school that goes above and beyond.

Dyan has gone above and beyond to ensure our LO is progressing every week. Dyan, you are truly incredible. Thank you! read more

I don't think I have seen my daughter happier than when she dances here. She LOVES all of her teachers and has improved greatly. But, more than that, she is happy when she is dancing. That is the most important aspect of all. As a theatre arts teacher for over 20 years, watching students feel pride, joy and shine in what they do is a true blessing and Ms. Dyan knows how to do that with genius. She loves what she does and she loves her girls! I've even become inspired to want to take some adult private dance lessons myself (and I'm a total klutz!) Keep up the great work Elite. I hope we will be with your company for years to come. read more

I have danced with Dyan since before she opened her own studio, I took many classes with her and was a part of her competition/performance teams. I now return to help teach and substitute teach classes when I'm in town. She always gives me work, which really helps my college-size wallet!

She helps dancers prepare for anything and always puts her students first! read more
